What is penetration testing?

Penetration testing is an authorized simulated cyberattack on your systems to identify exploitable vulnerabilities before real attackers find them. Securafy conducts NIST-aligned pen tests for Ohio businesses.

How often should Ohio businesses conduct penetration testing?

Most compliance frameworks (HIPAA, CMMC, PCI DSS) require annual penetration testing at minimum. High-risk industries or businesses undergoing significant IT changes should test more frequently.

Testing Capabilities

What We
Test

🌐

External Network Penetration

Testing of all internet-facing systems, firewalls, VPNs, and exposed services. Confirms what an external attacker can reach and exploit.

🏢

Internal Network Penetration

Simulates an insider threat or compromised endpoint. Tests lateral movement paths, segmentation effectiveness, and privilege escalation opportunities.

🔑

Active Directory Attack Simulation

Kerberoasting, Pass-the-Hash, credential spraying, privilege escalation, and persistence testing against your AD environment.

↔️

Lateral Movement Testing

Tests your network segmentation — critical for OT/IT environments, CJI network isolation, and core banking system separation.

🔐

Credential Attack Testing

Password spraying, hash capture & relay attacks, MITM testing. Confirms your identity controls hold under real attack conditions.

📄

Compliance-Mapped Reporting

Findings mapped to NIST, CJIS, HIPAA, GLBA, CMMC, PCI-DSS. Executive summary ready for board, examiner, or CSA auditor review.

Common Questions

Frequently
Asked

Yes for many frameworks. GLBA Safeguards Rule (§314.4(h)) requires annual penetration testing for financial institutions. CJIS Policy Area 11 recommends pen testing to validate network segmentation. CMMC 2.0 requires testing as part of your security assessment. PCI-DSS mandates annual network penetration testing.
